The long awaited details of the refresh of the Dell XPS 15 are finally here. I myself had been waiting for this refresh and am really happy with the new hardware. I know many people had been waiting for this too. With the release of the late 2016 Razer Blade, even more people are eager to know what will we be getting on the highly anticipated Dell XPS 15. For me I would be picking the Dell XPS 15, sure I am sacrificing the graphic card performance but I feel like I am getting more, like having better screen. Fingerprint scanner is a really nice edition, I'll definitely have that. Only thing I am worried about is the price. The GTX 1050 is "optional". For how much? 100-300? 

What do you guys think? I am just hoping I will be able to pick up the core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, GTX 1050, 4K screen, and fingerprint scanner for about $2000.

I actually expect it to be better than the old one. The new processor should help with it.

Just the size. The 13 has a bigger battery. This should have had one even larger.

1050 and 4K.

 

Two things that just don't go together.

True. Companies should start focusing on using things that can power the resolution of the screen. Though this laptop isn't really use for gaming.

Not sure how I missed it, but that's definitely not bad.

but its not a gaming machine. Those two things can absolutely go together. It will run video playback, and accelerate some applications just fine.

That would be nearly impossible, the 1060 would be waay too difficult to cool.

If it's not a gaming machine why would you even need a 1050 in the first place? To run YouTube in 4k? Every integrated GPU can handle that

It's probably for the people who uses it for programs needing decent graphics performance.

My dad is probably going to get this laptop. He is tired of his Lenovo laptops performances.

Since 4k is at 60 fps on my macbook air with shitty iGPU, I'm not sure where the 1050 is needed

Hardware acceleration. And don't forget even 'business' users like to play the occasional 3d game or two. Nevertheless the 1050 is optional, better to have it than not.

Unless it kills the battery like the dedicated GPU in the new MacBook Pro

[Misanthrope]

*gutural noises*

 

Sorry I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

Just play at 1080p which looks good typically due to 4k bing exactly 4x the pixels  Its not like its going to struggle running 4k at anything but gaming and gaming isnt the only thing people use laptops for...
